[nwienert]

Yea it’s pretty clear he’s saying the Democrats/media, not the virus, is the hoax, here. He already sees them propagandizing it, so he’s saying, “watch out here we go again, another thing they’ll try and twist”.

Which is funny - because you’re literally trying to twist it right here.

The “hoax” is just him saying they’re smearing him either for things he didn’t do or did wrong, even refers to it in the next sentence when he defends his early action containing the virus. He never suggests the virus itself is a hoax. That’s just plainly obvious. If you aren’t catching that, I think you’re seeing things through a very narrow liberal lense.

The border was closed to China in January. That’s a pretty early response, a lot faster than many other countries.

Sure, hes made mistakes. But your quote doesn’t make him look bad like you think it does.
